Thanks Yvan,

That results in the same error.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I get the error "Can't make some data into the expected type".

set factor to 0.5
set f to "Desktop:chart1.gif"
set newf to "Desktop:Scans ƒ"
set {x, y} to (image info for f)'s {pixel width, pixel height}
set w to make new graphic window with properties {pagewidth:x * factor, pageheight:y * factor}
BeginFigure(w)
DrawImage(f, {0, 0, x * factor, y * factor}, "")
EndFigure()
save w in newt


(1)  I'm not sure that
"Desktop:chart1.gif"

is a valid reference to the file.

An HFS path starts from the volume name so the path would be :

<startupVolume>:Users:<userAccount>: Desktop:chart1.gif

(2) I'm not sure that image for info accepts a string as a valid reference. I guess that a file or an alias would be better.
